When orders can’t be fulfilled immediately, they appear with an “Action Required” status on your Orders page. These orders need your attention before Jetpack’s Operations team can begin processing them. This guide explains each reason an order might be blocked and shows you exactly how to resolve it.

Understanding Action Required Status

Orders marked with Action Required cannot move forward until specific issues are addressed. Once you resolve all blocking issues, the order automatically transitions to Processing status and the SLA timer begins. Key Points:
  • Multiple issues can affect a single order simultaneously
  • Orders remain in Action Required until all exceptions are cleared
  • Once resolved, orders move to Processing automatically
  • If an order shouldn’t be fulfilled, cancel it instead of resolving exceptions
The fulfillment SLA timer does not start until all Action Required issues are resolved and the order moves to Processing status.

Common Action Required Reasons

The table below shows all reasons an order may be blocked, along with how to resolve each issue.

Editing Orders to Resolve Issues

Many Action Required exceptions can be resolved by editing the order directly. You can edit orders individually or in bulk to:
  • Remove out-of-stock products
  • Change the assigned fulfillment center
  • Update shipping addresses
  • Modify product quantities
  • Release manual holds
For inventory-related issues, you may need to replenish stock by creating a WRO or configure Partial Shipment Rules to allow split shipments.

Product Configuration Issues

Some Action Required reasons stem from incomplete product setup. If orders are blocked due to missing product information, update the following:
  • Packaging preferences on the product details page
  • Customs information (tariff codes, declared values) for international shipments
  • HAZMAT/Dangerous Goods data and Safety Data Sheets
  • Product status (Active vs. Inactive)
